any vinyl lovers out there

[mandimoo]

who can help my poor hubby not to pull his hair out. he just bought a replacement cartridge (moving coil cartridge), for his turntable but is having real problems setting the alignments and tracking and stuff, trying to do it by hand and eye.

has anyone got a good alignment protractor they can recommend that is easy to use without any special equipment?

or is it something that needs to be sent away to be done with micrometers and the like?

It's likely that the manufacturer's website will help. In the absence of a brand name in your post, here's a link from Linn, which includes a printable alignment protractor:
